Or if you have and found they work... then remove/changename of $HOME/.xscreensaver Removing it would be easiest, but then you get to have playing again. Without making any changes (other than rss-glxinstall.pl, or what ever it is) try them one at a time. I am betting the engine fails with a set of bad data from .xscreensaver, I know lattice ran really screwy for me until I reset it to defaults. -- greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
